A task featuring 12 3D shapes, all of which have volume 1 litre and missing lengths to be found.

We also did this fantastic task by @drpas1001.bsky.social.
It gave so many opportunities to make connections between the different shapes, make predications about whether answers would increase or decrease between questions, etc.

Central limit theorem - Wikipedia

If you take the sum (or average) of two dice rolls, order DOES NOT matter. In fact, as you keep adding dice rolls, the result approaches a Gaussian.

This is the central limit theorem. Even crazier is that itโ€™s true for any distribution, as you continue to โ€œmake rollsโ€

It's also #TauDay today, a celebration of the circle constant. Itโ€™s numerically equal to 2*Pi, so some think itโ€™s better than Pi. Are you #TeamTau or #TeamPi?

Maybe the Tau Manifesto will help you decide

Always? Sometimes? Never?

x^2 + Ax + B = (x+c)^2+8

1. C is less than A.
2. The vertex has an x-coordinate of 8.
3. B is less than A.
4. If C is an integer, so is A.
5. If A is an integer, so is B.
6. B is greater than 8.
7. If you know B, you can work out A and C.
8. The quadratic has two roots.
9. The minimum valueof the quadratic is 8.
10. If you know A, you can work out B and C.

In #MathsToday, Year 10 enjoying having a go at this Quadratics Always/Sometimes/Never task (which I did as a card sort in pairs).

It was really interesting to tease out the subtleties, look at different edge cases, and keep bringing things back to the graphs.

Neural network-assisted personalized handwriting analysis for Parkinson's disease diagnostics - Nature Chemical Engineering This study presents a diagnostic pen with ferrofluid ink that converts handwriting into sensing signals for Parkinson's disease (PD) diagnostics. In pilot studies, neural network-assisted analysis of collected handwriting signals accurately distinguished patients with PD, demonstrating the pen's potential as a low-cost, scalable tool for accessible diagnostics.

A pen loaded with magnetic ink can be used to help detect early onset Parkinsonโ€™s disease, suggests a study in Nature Chemical Engineering. Neural network assisted data analysis in the device can identify differences in the handwriting of people with and without the disease. #medsky ๐Ÿงช
